2.2.1 InitialInstallationoftheSensorModules(ExceptM16CompleteCameras)
The MOBOTIX M16 cameras are delivered with a pre-assembled housing as M16Body cam-
era. The sensor modules (consisting of lens carrier, image sensor and lens) need be ordered
separately.Upondelivery,thesensormodulesocketsinthefrontelementarettedwith
transportplugs.Whenoperatingthecamera,itneedstobe ttedeitherwithsensor or
blindmodules.Thisclosesothefrontelementandprotectsthecameraagainstforeign
objects, insects and water.
Caution
Only replace the sensor modules when the camera is disconnected from the power
supply. Make sure the power supply to the camera is disconnected before installing
or replacing sensor modules.
When installing the sensor modules, make sure that the sensor module cables and the
patch cable are not damaged or bent sharply.
UsingOneorTwoSensorModules
With an M16, you have the choice of using the camera with one or two sensor modules. Since
themodulesareeasilyexchanged,itisalsopossibletoaddamoduleortousedierent
ones later on.

Note that you must not operate the M16 with installed transport plugs, since the camera
is not protected against the environments:
